King’s Landing: The Proud Empress

Chapter 131: world affairs

  Chapter 131 Things in the world

   Walking out of the alley, Junli lost direction for a moment, not knowing where to go. After thinking about it, I decided to go for a walk outside the building.

  The streets in the capital are always so bustling, full of people, and hawking.

  Maybe it was the lively scene that covered up the gloom in his heart, Jun Li always had a faint smile on his lips, and walked unhurriedly.

   Far away, seeing the tall building outside the building, Junli couldn't help but quicken his pace.

  As soon as he entered the building outside the building, a young lady greeted him, nodded to Junli, and led him up to the third floor with familiarity.

  When he came to the door of a private room, Junli suddenly asked, "Miss Han Yehan is back?"

  The youngest second sister was taken aback for a moment, but she quickly replied, "Go back to my boss, Miss Han has just returned."

  Jun Li nodded, and ordered, "Go and invite Miss Han, just say that I want to invite her to have a cup of tea and chat."

  Hearing this, the second young lady nodded in response.

   Sipping the bamboo leaf tea in the cup, Junli leaned back in the chair and slowly closed his eyes.

   Since traveling through this period for more than a month, too many things have happened. Even she was a little overwhelmed and exhausted.

  Inexplicably, I thought of Eunuch Duan.

  If he was here, he would definitely be nagging in her ear now, advising her to rest more, not to go to those memorials, and not to pay attention to ministers and the like. Then it was to pick a lot of men to come and serve the bed.

  In the past, she might have found him annoying, and he was nagging. Thinking about it now, she would rather he be annoying and nagging, as long as he doesn't sleep on the bed all the time, on that cold bed, it's fine for him to nagging for as long as she wants, and she won't sneak away for any reason .

   Some people, you don't feel anything when he's around. Once he is gone, I will think of his kindness in every way, and I will never forget him no matter what.

  Stretched out and took out an object from his arms, the sunlight falling through the window reflected streaks of silvery luster. But it was the silver pistol that he got from Eunuch Duan.

  Fingers kept rubbing the body of the gun, the deep sense of familiarity made her both excited and sad.

   Unexpectedly, in another world, she could still see the gun that accompanied her almost from childhood. Seeing this gun, she couldn't help but think of those brothers and sisters who had accompanied her through the wind and blood. I don't know how they are?

  Endless sadness, helplessness, all turned into a sigh.

   Time passed little by little, and two light footsteps gradually came from outside, slowly approaching the door of the private room.

   "Boss, Miss Han is here." A low voice came from outside the door, it was the voice of the young lady just now.

   Junli nodded, and said softly, "Please come in."

  The door opened with a squeak, and then a woman also dressed in black walked in, with a touch of nobility in her gestures.

  The woman's face was slightly pale, her body was thin, she walked steadily to the opposite side of Junli, and sat down on a chair.

  As soon as he sat down, Han Ye looked at Junli with a smile, "Why didn't Ms. Mu say hello to them when she came today?" They naturally meant Bai Heng, Liu Yuan and Mo Kuang.

  Jun Li raised the teacup in his hand, and said, "I've seen Mo Kuang. I heard that Brother Bai is still studying, so I had no choice but to ask Brother Han to accompany me to drink tea and chat."

  Han Ye couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "So I was their substitute."

Jun Li shook his head, "Brother Han's words are wrong. Originally, I wanted to invite you guys to drink tea and chat together, but unexpectedly, Mo Kuang became an apprentice and went to learn martial arts with the master. Brother Bai and Brother Liu They are all busy again, only you, Brother Han, have nothing to do, so I can only invite you."

   As he spoke, he made a cup of bamboo leaf tea for Han Ye and handed it to her.

  Han Ye reached out to take the bamboo leaf tea, took a sip, and exclaimed, "The tea made by Miss Mu is much better than the one made by the guy in the building outside."

  Jun Li laughed, "This is the top-quality bamboo leaves I used, while the bottom ones are all high-quality bamboo leaves. The quality is different, and the taste will naturally be different."

  Han Ye nodded, did not speak, but slowly sipped the tea in the cup. The depths of his eyes were filled with thought.

  After several cups of tea, Han Ye looked at Junli and said, "Miss Mu, what are we talking about?"

  Jun Li raised the corners of his mouth lightly, opened his mouth slowly, and said, "It's a matter of the world."

  Han Ye was stunned for a moment, what happened in the world?

   "What world affairs does Miss Mu want to talk about?" Han Ye asked with downcast eyes.

  Jun Li pointed at the table and said, "Let's talk about some countries in the south."

  Han Ye was slightly taken aback, lost his mind for a moment, and then returned to his original state.

   After a little thought, she said, "I wonder if Ms. Mu has ever heard of the Qiqiao Kingdom in the south?"

   Beg Qiao Country?

  Jun Li raised his eyebrows, he had never heard of it.

   "Never."

  Hearing her answer, Han Ye was not surprised at all, and began to tell everything he knew about Qiqiao Country.

"The country of beggars was not a country at first, but a place where a large group of beggars stayed. Later, as more and more beggars came in, one of the leading beggars said: 'We have so many people, why don't we form a country?' , This sentence is like pouring a pot of boiling water on ice, and everyone is boiling."

"Some people think it's good to form a country so that everyone can unite. Once there are enemies, they can join forces and expel the enemies together. Some people think it's better not to form a country because their strength is too weak. Once a country is established, some surrounding countries are dissatisfied, what should they do if they send troops to them? At that time, any small country can easily destroy them."

   "Thus, everyone voted with a show of hands whether to establish a country. In the end, the number of people who agreed to establish a country prevailed, and they made a decision: establish a country!"

"But here comes the question again, what is the name of the country? The beggars have never read a book, and the first thing that comes to mind is the word begging. The king who was elected later was also a man who had never read a book." But he thought the word begging was not nice, so he changed it to begging, and it was called the country of begging from then on.”

  Junli smiled faintly and looked at Han Ye, "When did it happen?"

  Han Ye smiled and said, "A month ago."

  The corner of Junli’s mouth twitched, well, no wonder she hadn’t heard of it before. It turned out that the country was established only a month ago. Wasn’t it the time when General Wei forced the palace to rebel?

   "Since Brother Han has already said something about a country, let me say one too."

  Han Ye smiled, "Miss Mu, please tell me."

  Junli nodded, "Then I'll say it, the country I'm talking about is a not too small country in the south, called Fufeng Country."
